Potential X5 M Sport Order UK
I'm seriously considering ordering an X5 M Sport to replace my 2012 X3 30D M Sport though my dealer is talking delivery in AUGUST!!!
Even if I place my order within the next two weeks , they're telling me that there's no way of getting build scheduled before JULY. Has anyone else heard similar tales in the UK or is it BS? ![]()

Ordered my 30d X5 M Sport to replace my 2012 F25 X3.
I love the X3, it drives better than any other SUV that I've ever driven (even the F15 IMHO) though it's just not big enough to meet my business needs. I test drove an SE demonstrator first though didn't like the way it drove at all. The very light, over-assisted steering with little or no feel was my main criticism. I then tried an M Sport (on 469m 20"s) the steering on which felt better (improved weighting) though there's still very little in the way of real feedback from the road. There seems very little difference between the X3 & X5 in straight line performance, I guess the new X5's weight reduction helps and there may have been some improvements in the engine department though I'm not sure. Fuel economy compared very well too. The X5's pro's out-way the single con for me so had no hesitation in ordering the X5 today. Not sure how long I'll have to wait, mixed messages from the dealer who initially was talking Mid august though this has been changed to June-July. I've ordered: BMW X5 5 Door xDrive30d M Sport 14 Mineral White Terra Dakota Leather Options: 3ac Towbar - Fully Electric 676 Loudspeaker System-bmw Advanced 430 Folding/Auto Dimming Ext Mirrors 6ar Internet 3ag Reversing Assist Camera 420 Sun Protection Glass 4ff Comfort Seats Rear 552 Adaptive Led Headlights 5ac High-beam Assist 5dl Surround View 2pw 20in Light M Double Spoke Style 469m Zns Connected drive Services Package Zxh Cold Weather Package 4cv Interior Trim American Oak High Gloss My car's on a BMW business lease and I've got approx. 10% discount of list price (as a return customer) so I'm well pleased - the discount's paid for the extra's! ![]() Just got to wait for a build / expected delivery dates now.

No, I must admit I was expecting normal 'performance' run flats rather than AS types. I'll ask the question since my dealer has an M Sport demonstrator with the same wheels fitted.

UK Updates
Is there any way that us poor souls in the UK can get build status updates like the buyers in the USA can via the 800-number?
Is our only option to pester our local sales department?

Edit: I see you placed your order already so above probably a moot point. |
